I may have made a BIG mistake today...
Well, Mrs. Killer was big into small, light travel trailers and old Killer was gold...until I took her and the little Killer shopping at the RV store today. Our TV is a brand spanking new f150 5.0, supercab (not the Screw), tow package, 9000 lb. tow capacity, 2067 payload. As I said - gold. But today she went all Tom Selleck (not saying we're young) over a Jay Flight SLX 242BHSW. Now I can post the link but you can Google it if you're interested, but the main stats are 5390 lbs. dry, 7000 GVWR, length is 29'2". I'm thinking we're good payload-wise (hitch at 1050 maximum, 600 lbs. of "us" in the truck), and the weight is at a hair under 80% of the truck's max towing - so as a new member and new to TT towing rank newbie could I get an opinion of that set-up? I had to admit the trailer was nice - outdoor kitchen! - and I've been lurking long enough to know Jayco is a good trailer. I've grown conservative in my old age though and I'm not looking to tax the truck. Of course I'll use a weight distribution hitch and be careful when we pack (honestly, there's just us three and our dog - MAYBE my older daughter - and I can't imagine we'll pack right up to the weight limit). Anyways, is the f150 enough truck to handle a 7000 lb. GVWR?
